Sorry. I meant the 3b1 (aka Unix PC)
I think it was a logitech two button rectangular wedge shaped mouse
used by lots of vendors. They came in both serial and parallel, I
think the AT&T one was serial. It has been a long time. Both had a D 9
pin connector.
A picture search on google "3b1" brought up a poor picture of the
mouse with one. Hard to see what it actuually is.
I had several 3B1s go through my hands in the early 1990s.

Logitech sounds right. Here's a good picture clearly showing a 3-button

What I am positive about, though, is that the 3B1 uses a 3-button
mouse. If memory serves its connector resembles a modular one but with
a slightly more elaborate locking mechanism.

Very cool. I sold and serviced them in an after-school job in 9th
grade. I spent every spare moment bouncing between the 3B1 (actually a
7300...nearly identical) and the DEC Pro350 we had in the store.
